A historic neighborhood under restoration

Part of the Edmondson Avenue Historic District in West Baltimore, Bridgeview-Greenlawn developed over a century ago along an old streetcar line. Today, the neighborhood offers clusters of residential row houses and some commercial development. The area has high violent CAP Index Crime Scores, and the city strives to reestablish homeownership and a sense of community among neighbors. Bridgeview-Greenlawn is part of the Baltimore City Employee Homeownership Program, which provides $10,000 grants to those who buy homes in communities in need of restoration. The city hopes that homeowners will bring a newfound dedication to neighborhood improvement. As Jehri Boseman, a local Realtor with Cummings and Co. says, location and relative affordability are the biggest draws. “It is a major area for flips, and it’s so convenient – you’re close to everything.” With more investors executing home rehabilitation in this central location, buyers are acting quickly before prices increase.

Bridgeview-Greenlawn has plenty of green space for being so close to Downtown Baltimore.

A variety of row houses in Bridgeview-Greenlawn

Federal-style row houses built in the 1920s line many streets, with uniform roof lines spanning entire blocks. Some homes feature bay windows with bright, decorative awnings, adding variety and a pop of color. Narrow sidewalks are flanked by on-street parking, with concrete stoops serving as the entryway to almost every home. Houses in the easternmost part of the neighborhood border industrial buildings, including warehouses and auto repair shops. Properties up for auction can start around $45,000 and climb up to $80,000, while larger homes in better condition may reach $275,000. Most row houses under $120,000 require some rehabilitation, while those above $175,000 have often undergone recent renovations. “Purchasing an upgraded home is definitely possible, and for a reasonable price,” Boseman says.

Religious organizations work to improve Bridgeview-Greenlawn

Houses of worship play a major role in building community involvement in Bridgeview-Greenlawn. The Episcopal Church of the Holy Trinity hosts free events, like jazz concerts and the Unity in the Community celebration each fall, where kids can pick out free school supplies, enjoy the bounce houses and compete in lawn games. The church also started an annual health fair in 2024 in partnership with a variety of local and national medical organizations, like the Alzheimer’s Association and the Behavioral Health System Baltimore. Vendors set up tables with information packets and provide guidance on mental and physical health. The Masjid Ad Da’wah Ilat Tawheed has also served the city by passing out free boxes of fresh produce across numerous neighborhoods.

Outdoor facilities for recreation and wellness education

Across the street from the neighborhood lies Easterwood Park, which features athletic fields, a basketball court and a playground. The park’s recreation center hosts education sessions about healthy eating and fitness, as well as general mentorship programs. Volunteers often provide free breakfast here and run camps for children. Lafayette and Payson Park is another small gathering space with a playground and basketball courts. Locals can take a step back in time at the historic St. Peter’s Cemetery, with 15,000 graves that date back to the mid-1850s. The Jonah House sits on the cemetery’s edge and serves as an organization known for its dedication to promoting peace and spearheading the community garden. Bridgeview-Greenlawn also rests between two of West Baltimore’s largest parks. Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park features the Carrie Murray Nature Center and miles of trails, and visitors of Druid Hill Park can check out the Maryland Zoo, play on the disc golf course or fish on the lakes.

Nearby Baltimore City Public School options

Children in prekindergarten through second grade can attend Billie Holiday Elementary, which has yet to be ranked on Niche since being renamed.

While families have school choice for high school, Carver-Vocational Technical High sits right outside the neighborhood and scores a D-plus.

All three schools are within walking distance of most residences.
